ISLAMABAD: Incarcerated Opposition leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif underwent medical examination on Wednesday at his residence in Minister’s Enclave which was declared a sub-jail by the National Accountability Bureau.
A three-member medical board of polyclinic doctors thoroughly examined the former chief minister and conducted several clinical tests.
Consultant physician Doctor Asif Irfan is heading the medical board which comprises associate cardiac physician Doctor Hamid Iqbal and Doctor Imtiaz Ahmed.
The medical board was formed on the request of the National Accountability Bureau.
On October 29, an accountability court extended the physical remand of Shehbaz Sharif until Nov 7 in Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing scandal.
Arrest of Shehbaz Sharif
The National Accountability Bureau on Oct 5 arrested Shehbaz Sharif inside its Lahore office where he was summoned to record his statement in connection with the Punjab Saaf Pani Company case.
A combined investigation team of the country’s top anti-graft watchdog quizzed him for an hour over his alleged role in awarding contract to his “favourite firm” in violation of laws in the Ashiana-i-Iqbal housing project.
The Bureau later issued a statement, declaring that former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif has been arrested in the scam.
Shahbaz’s blue-eyed officers, Lahore Development Authority former director general Ahad Cheema and Fawad Hasan Fawad, are already in NAB custody in the Ashiana Housing case.
